Method of adapting a paint transfer image to the generation of a mural

Abstract

A method for creating imagery on a surface by establishing a visual boundary between two surface color regions and applying a dry transfer object proximate the visual boundary such that when the dry transfer object is substantially the same color as one of the surface regions, a negative space effect is created within the second surface color region to define thereby a desired image.

1. A method for generating a mural on a surface, the mural including a plurality of decorative elements, the method comprising:
 applying paint of a first color to at least one region of the surface to provide thereby a first color region of the surface; 
 applying paint of a second color to at least one region of the surface adjacent to the first color region of the surface to provide thereby a second color region of the surface; and 
 transferring a dry transfer object from a paint transfer medium to a region of the surface overlapping portions of the first and second color regions of the surface, the dry transfer object comprising paint imagery including a first color portion having the same color as the first color of the painted surface to define thereby a visual boundary between the first color region of the painted surface and the second color region of the painted surface; 
 wherein at least one decorative element of the mural is defined by the visual cooperation of the painted first color region of the surface and the first color portion of the dry transfer object. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the dry transfer object includes at least one negative space portion to provide visibility of the painted surface through the dry transfer object. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein:
 said transferring comprises transferring a plurality of dry transfer objects from the paint transfer medium to the painted surface. 
 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 3 , wherein said plurality of dry transfer objects cooperate with colors on the painted surface to provide respective elements of a mural. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 3 , wherein said plurality of dry transfer objects are provided using multiple sheets of said paint transfer medium. 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , wherein said paint transfer medium is adapted to impart a texture to the dry transfer object, the texture imparted to the image being adapted to coordinate with a texture of the painted surface. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 1 , wherein said first surface color surface is proximate said second surface color, and said paint imagery represents an ornamental arrangement disposed therebetween. 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 7 , wherein said paint imagery also includes imagery disposed over said second surface color to define thereby a visual structure using negative space. 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the transferrable image includes a plurality of image regions having respective colors and imagery adapted to form a mural upon the painted surface by selectively hiding and delineating portions of the painted surface. 
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 9 , wherein a first region of said image includes a first color that is the same as a painted surface color such that a transition between the first color of said painted surface color tends to be hidden. 
     
     
       11. The method of  claim 9 , wherein a second region of said image includes a second color having an image position delineating an image boundary to visually define thereby a third image region. 
     
     
       12. The method of  claim 1 , wherein said surface comprises a wall. 
     
     
       13. The method of  claim 1 , wherein said surface comprises a three dimensional surface. 
     
     
       14. The method of  claim 1 , wherein said texture imparted to the image being adapted to coordinate with a house paint texture. 
     
     
       15. A method for generating a mural on a surface, the mural including a plurality of decorative elements, the method comprising:
 establishing a visual boundary between a painted region of said surface having a first color and a painted region of said surface having a second color; and 
 applying a dry transfer object proximate said visual boundary, said dry transfer object comprising paint imagery including a first color portion having the same color as the painted first color region of the surface and shaped to define a visual boundary between a portion of the painted first color region of the surface and a portion of the painted second color region of the surface; 
 wherein at least one decorative element of the mural is defined by the visual cooperation of the painted first color region of the surface and the first color portion of the dry transfer object. 
 
     
     
       16. The method of  claim 15 , wherein said painted surface color regions comprise respective painted portions of a wall. 
     
     
       17. The method of  claim 15 , wherein said first color portion of said paint imagery includes a decorative element having a color different than said first painted surface color region. 
     
     
       18. The method of  claim 15 , wherein:
 said two painted surface color regions comprise respective portions of a wall; and 
 said paint imagery disposed upon said surface provides thereby a mural. 
 
     
     
       19. The method of  claim 15 , wherein:
 said paint imagery overlaps said two painted surface color regions; and 
 said first and second surface color regions extend to demarcation points therebetween, said paint imagery being applied along said demarcation points. 
 
     
     
       20. The method of  claim 19 , wherein said paint imagery also includes imagery within said second painted surface color region to define thereby a visual structure using negative space.
